    First time owner with a quick question

    I’m a novice so please be kind. My T was eating great for a long time when I first got her. I know T’s will fast for long periods but my T acts as though she’s going to eat the prey when I put it in but then suddenly backs off of it as if she’s scared of it. I remove the food within the...

    Jeeze yea, that’s not good! Glad that didn’t happen in my case. I’m sorry that happened to you and your wife.

    What can happen to them if they’re shipped like that?

    I got her rehoused! I learned that I’m terrible at rehousing and she was a very feisty little one but she’s in the new enclosure and we both came out unscathed. She has plenty of room now.

    Okay well that’s good to know at least. Are you a seller?

    Also to top it off she was shipped in a catch cup with damp moss in it. She was probably shifting all around in the cup. Everything I've seen from reputable stores shows that they are shipped in paper towel to cushion the spider. Plus the GBB is an arid species, I don’t know if damp moss is a...

    Also every in single picture of all their species shows they’re about 2” which makes no sense. In the description it says “pictures are an estimate of size”. Should say “could be two to three times larger”.

    Worried about my new T!

    No I just think they don’t care. There was zero communication, when I did get ahold of someone they blamed me. I literally heard nothing from the company until fedex sent me a text saying the package was ready for pick up. The spiders abdomen was tiny for her size as well, making me think they...

    Worst experience I’ve had with an online store. They must interfere with their google reviews to make them look better because after I dug deeper they have horrible reviews. It was a place called Snakes at Sunset so steer clear!

    I see one on Amazon with good reviews that I can get shipped by tomorrow. It’s 12x8x6 or the next size up is 16x10x8

    Okay I will, what size do you think is most appropriate?

    Worried about my new T!

    Hey everyone! I’m new to the hobby. I got my first T (a healthy GBB) about a week ago. The online shop I went to ended up being a terrible experience. Their site had a listing for confirmed females supposedly 2” in size and I went ahead and placed the order. When she arrived, after no...
